Hey blykins,

I have over 100 hours of fiberglassing on my SV body. Once I got started, I couldn't quit. I did mostly what mickmate did. I had very good luck with Evercoats laminating resin. and a combination of fiberglass cloth and mat. The cloth is very strong, the mat layers better and smooths out better. Mine took about 12 to 15 layers to get 1/4" thick. A body filler spreader works pretty good to squeeze out the air pockets. Be sure and buy a box of latex gloves.
